Vida has written four books. Published in 2003, And Now You Can Go is a novel set in New York, San Francisco, and the Philippines, tracing the impulsive journeys of a young woman in the wake of an assault.[1] In a 2003 Guardian article Vida voiced her plan to author a trilogy of novels "on the subject of violence and rage."[2] The second novel, Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name, takes place in Lapland and was published in 2007. As a fellow at the Sundance Labs, she developed Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name into a script, which received the Sundance Institute/Mahindra Global Filmmaking Award. The Lovers was published in June 2010 by Ecco. Joyce Carol Oates called it "a riveting and suspenseful novel about an American woman’s voyage to self-discovery.” Vida's most recent book, The Diver's Clothes Lie Empty, was published by Ecco in June 2015. Lena Dunham called it "Part glamorous travelogue, part slow-burn mystery". Two of Vida’s novels have been New York Times Notable Books of the year, and she is the winner of the Kate Chopin Award, given to a writer whose female protagonist chooses an unconventional path.
